That is why do not ever entrust our money to others even if they are trusted enough, there must be a colateral and certainly a valid colateral to reduce from losses like this things.

Shit! I feel sorry for those who've lost their money.  Is there any info about how much did he ran away with?

Yeah IKR. If someone has enough coins to run a masternode then they should run it by themselves or find a coin with delegation or cold staking or just be in BITCOIN!
You must know that there are some people that really want to stake despite having literally no idea about how to run masternode but insist to run one because it could grow their money anyway. Those kind of people are usually those that get a small information about this online business/passive income from their close friend and relative but got sucked by their greed and as a result hiring a stranger to help them run it. That's crazy and I won't ever hire stranger to hold my personal possession. heck, even I don't trust people touching my personal VPS that literally has no crypto whatsoever.

The big question is about how the senior advisor of DASH was holding the investor's money? Isn't it something the really strange to see that? what's the capability of that guy as senior advisor of DASH?
Dude, so many scammers these days and that was giving a very bad impact to the name of crypto. DASH is also loosing its credibility right now by added the anonymous member like him. I hope that investors will get a solution. It looks like it's not worth again to put our money into the MN projects.

I agree, but from what he told me it's a huge deal to run a masternode, as in resource commitment in terms of computing and who knows what else.  I have never run one, so I took him at his word.  He said some guy charges a few dollars a month to do it and that the guy has control of the collateral coins.  The first thing I thought of was how crazy he was for the last part.  He's probably well aware of how many scams there are in crypto, so I don't know why he chose to go that route.

The more I think about this story with dash, the more disturbing it is to me.  I happen to like dash as an altcoin and have respected the work the dash foundation has done to promote the coin as a currency as they have recently been doing in south america.  This is almost treasonous in my eyes that someone would pull off a scam like this. 

Centralized projects will always become victims of these things, which is why I stay away from them.
Dash isn't centralized.  The dash foundation certainly is, but not dash itself even with the masternodes.  At least no more so than bitcoin is with all of its powerful chinese miners.

Same with all these ERC20 token projects, which are premined and distributed. Back in 2012-2014 people would go NUTS by the idea that the team instamines a token/coin and sells them like they are sold today. It's not decentralized, and we've seen over and over again how these tokens become scams over time, with devs selling out, exit scamming etc.
Not saying EVERY token is a "scam", because that's not true at all, but projects "borned" this way isn't decentralized, not in the slightest.

Take a look at an old school project like Blocknet, which was launched fairly, and is still around today. Peercoin, Vertcoin, same thing. Nobody cares, because everyone is looking to make "quick" money, not caring at all.

Blocknet solving oracles, compared with Chainlink. Both projects aims to do the same, with one project being way more centralized than the other. Back in 2013 they would off have switched positions on Coinmarketcap due to this exact fact.

So be careful out there, devs holding a large percentage of the coins in circulation CAN be bad, but isn't always.

Individuals have been trying to contact him for months to no avail, leading to a prolonged search and community involvement to get to the bottom of things. Moocowmoo ran an operation where users could put up their DASH for partial masternode returns in a shared system.

Unbelievable.  I know a guy who pays someone to run a masternode for him (not dash), and I always thought he was crazy for letting someone else hold the coins for him.  And this is the reason why.

This has been months in the doing if I'm reading the article right.

Moocowmoo was then listed as a senior advisor and, suspiciously enough, is one of the only anonymous members on the entire core team.

The above is an excellent reason why anonymous members of any crypto team should be viewed with suspicion, as with ico team members who don't want to disclose their real identity and use cartoon photos instead.  This is what can happen.

A senior advisor for the Dash Core Group has apparently disappeared with the funds of several investors. Concerned parties within the community are left trying to put together the pieces.

A prominent individual within the Dash Core Group has apparently gone missing in what is increasingly looking like an exit scam. The now-gone senior advisor for Dash, known by his moniker ‘moocowmoo,’ was also the owner of a service specializing in ‘masternode shares.’ The individual has disappeared and apparently run away with the funds of several Dash investors.

Oh my, oh my, oh my! What is going on now in the cryptoverse?

Earlier, we have IDAX CEO who suddenly disappeared with the cold wallet. Right now, Dash's senior advisor follow suit by disappearing with the investors' hard-earned money?

I just do not know who's next. It means that even if you are a reputable kind of project, someone in your team would likely turn their back on the project and may do "evil stuff". Betrayal in short.

It means that any time of the day, week, month or year, one or a few in every crypto project may be the "dark horse/s" who would betray or "faking" their loyalty. Their public reputation and trust would be affected as well.
